Description
Went to the website to buy a kitten was told $800 for the kitten including shipping via zelle then got called back a few hrs later saying it needed to be shipped in a climate controlled crate because of the weather and that i needed to pay $1600 that’s 95% refundable once i get the kitten. Then got called 3 hrs just before the kitten was supposed to arrive saying they got held at the airport and i needed to pay $1990 for insurance and when i refused they threatened to sue then said they can pay $1000 and i can then just pay $990 which i did but via credit card then they won’t answer my calls or emails for a couple of hrs then emailed back saying i needed to pay the $1000 because there payment couldn’t go through. And when i refused and asked for a refund they won’t answer me anymore
